I've a busy work schedule and I want someone to take care of my pet while I'm at work

When you have to go away or work long hours, don’t worry about leaving your pet alone at home. Have you ever wondered “Is there a dog boarding near me in that can help?”. Luckily, with PetBacker, you can easily find local and trusted dog boarding from .

At PetBacker, we are all dog lovers ourselves, so we understand how stressful it can be to think about where your dog will stay when you need to go out of town. Dog boarding kennels might not always be a suitable option as they can often be far away, overcrowded, or unable to manage your dog’s individual needs.

Thankfully, PetBacker makes the process of finding a local pet sitter in easy and stress free. Our pet sitters each go through a strict verification process and when they offer dog boarding, they also have to include photos of their home environment so that you can really see where your dog will be staying. Each sitter is verified individually by our trust and safety team and they also have reviews from other pet owners on their profiles. Above all else, you can trust that they will love your dog as much as you do during their dog boarding stay.

The benefits of using a PetBacker sitter is that your dog will stay in an environment similar to what you provide at home and will get plenty of cuddles and attention. On top of that, our friendly dog boarding sitters are very flexible and will happily follow any routines, special instructions or requirements your dog may have. This is important for dogs as they can be a little uneasy about being away from home for the first time, so having a routine and a familiar environment (like another home in ) will make the dog boarding experience very positive for them.

If your dog is a couch potato and would prefer to hang inside all day, your PetBacker sitter will happily indulge them with lots of belly rubs during their dog boarding stay. Or if your dog is more active and prefers to go on daily walks and chase a ball, your pet sitter can accommodate that too! Think of dog boarding with a PetBacker sitter as a chance for your dog to have their own holiday.

PetBacker sitters charge a reasonable rate which includes daily updates, unlimited cuddles and playtime. This means you don’t have to worry about the price or paying extra for those services. This makes our dog boarding services an affordable alternative to traditional dog boarding kennels where you can be charged extra for each request.

Additionally, you can go on your trip without worry as all dog boarding bookings on PetBacker are covered by our premium insurance and 24-hour customer support team. This gives you and the sitter peace of mind during the entire dog boarding booking.

Our PetBacker sitters come from a diverse range of backgrounds and many are professionals in the pet care industry themselves. We have pet sitters that range from vets and nurses, to dog trainers and rescue volunteers. With such a wide range of skill sets, you are sure to meet a sitter that will meet your dog’s needs.

Do you have a love for dogs and a space to share yourself? Why not consider being a pet sitter with PetBacker in and offering dog boarding options yourself? We offer 24-hour customer support, insurance, and the benefit of flexibility. You get to choose when and how much dog boarding work you want to have.
